"HAIL TO THE CHIEF"

The following poem, beautifully engross
ed in illuminated text, was presented Il
the President, on his recent visit to Allan
ia, by Master Stuart Mclean, the son o
Mrs. Clara Dargan Mclean, of South Car
olina:
Noble of soul, and high Of aim,
Thou warden of the peoples veal,
We greet thee with the lannon's roar,
With roll of drum and bugle-peal,
And thousand voices heavenward soar
To join the glad acclaim.
But deeper, pledged in heart and hand,
Oh, healer of intestine strife!
CLOVIS the true patriots grateful love,
To him who saved the nations life,
And for the eagle gave the dove
AS emblem of the land.
From East to West thy triumph rolls,
From North to South in widening waves
OF welcome and Of loyalty;
For War and Hate are in their graves,
And Peace upon our borders free,
Her wings forever folds!
Clara Dargan Mclean.

LAYING THE FOUNDATIONS.

An old man, aged eighty, died in a cave
in a range of mountains in Pennsylvania
last summer. He had subsisted for years
by begging, living on broken %victuals, and
carefully hiding the money given him.
After his death, q large amount of silver
was discovered buried. in the cave, with
government bonds and certificates of stock.
His son, who was a cripple, he allowed to
die in the county almshouse.
An old man who knew him in his youth,
said,-
Ellis father taught him to cheat at mar
bles for pennies. He was trained to be-
lieve that there was 10 value in education,
in religion, in the affections, in the decen-
cies, in the happiness of life,-in nothing,
in short, but money"
The heir to one of the great ducal estates
of England was disposed, when a boy, to
be ex%travagant and sensual. His mother
would not allow his tutors to curb him.
"It is the etfervescence of YOUTH" she
said. at will pass away in time"
Last summer the palaces, galleries of
famous pictures, and lands renowned in
English history, belonging to an old and
honorable family, were sold under the
hammer to pay his debts, while he, a bro
ken-down gambler and voluptuary, crept
out of sight to France. ,
If q young man could but look forward
thirty or fifty years, and see himself when
the passions which seem so harmless now
have done their work upon him!
A so-called magician in London has been
coming money lately by showing to each
visitor who consults him the picture of
his own death. One young lad saw him
self as a bloated old man, dying of apo
plexy; another lay on a field of battle,
shot to the heart a gay girl saw a Wrink-
led, gray figure stretched upon a bed, sur
rounded by weeping friends. The trick
was the result of an instantaneous photo
graph taken as the visitor entered, with
the addition of costume and background.
But if each boy could in reality so face
old age, but for n moment, there would
be little need of sermons to warn him
from his besetting vice.
More than n man has been saved from
final ruin by a single observing glance at
himself in a mirror. He was turned from
evil courses by seeing what he had already
become. The lesson would be even more
startling if one could see what still further
indulgence in vice would make of him.

FLESH SLOUGHING OFF IN PIECES.

For two years l have been confined to he'd with Il
loathsomef form ofBlood Poison, which had about eaten
me up, and | and others had no hope of n recovery
For a while | could neither walk, sit down, nor lie
down, only in misery as my flesh seemed to be falling
off my bones in pieces as big as a hen egg. My appe,,
lite was lost, my homes ached and panied me-, and
friends even Stunned Inc. l. used various DIooa pu
rifiers without benefit, and several physicians treated
me unit! large sums Of money had been expended, but
not one particle of good did any one give me-.
On the 18th of February, 1886, MIR. +. K. Jackson
could not endure my suffering much longer. He
concluded TO try d. u. b. on me and got n bottle from
Mr.. Brockington, at Beaufort, s. c., and before one
bottle had been used | commenced gaining strength,
nv annette improved, sores commenced healing and
when two bottles had been used | was on my feet and
walking around TO the establishment of everybody.

TNHE Cyclone Spark E~xtinguisher put on my
engine a few months ago is giving entire
satisfaction. Before it was put on, my gin
house several times caught fire from sparks, so
I had to quit running while the wind was'blow-
ing in the direction of the Clubhouse. Now I
can gin and saw with perfect safety, no matter
which way the wind blows. Haven't seen a live
spark from the engine since I have been using it.
And another goodthing about it is, it can't wear
or burn out. Will last as long as the engine. I
think it a great invention, and wouldn't take
double the cost of mine if it was so I couldn't
get another one. think you ought to reduce
the present high rate reinsurance on gin-houses
where these ~extinguishers ale used on the en-
gines, or, at least, recommend such to the COM
panies you represent, because I see no risk
whatever from the engine.
Very respectfully,

DRUNKENNESS A CRIME.-The Kentucky
Court of Appeals recently decided that a
man who committed a murder while un-
der the influence of liquor, must suffer the
penalty of the law. The court took the
ground that drunkennessitself was crime,
and that one crime, did not furnish i'm
munity for the commission Of a greater
one. This is good sense, and if all courts
construed the law as rigidly as the Ken
lucky court Of last resort, murders would
be less frequent.
